Some islands have a '''navy'''.  Pirates can take navy [[mission]]s through the [[notice board]]s.  Once aboard a ship, the pirate can play the [[puzzle#Duty Puzzles|duty puzzle]]s for modest amounts of pay.  The better the performance at the puzzle, the higher the pay. Even though the ''Manage the Navy'' section of the palace says otherwise, the navy does not cost anything to operate.
= Navy Ranks =

The more ''time'' a pirate spends working for the navy, the higher their Navy Rank listed on their [[info page]].  Upon attaining some levels, the pirate is rewarded with an article of [[clothing]].  The color of the clothing depends on the [[home island]] of the pirate.  Two-colored items use the same color for both regions. A [[list of island navy colors]] is maintained on YPPedia

Note: The "Learn to..." missions do '''not''' count towards Navy Rank.

There are eleven navy ranks:

= Pay Rates =

For each [[league]] that you puzzle, you will be paid for your work.  The better you do, the more you will receive.  If the navy ship reaches an island and you have done an exceptionally poor job, you will receive a [[tell]] from the ship's navigator that says, "I'm not paying you to stand around! You've got to work harder than that to get paid in this navy!"

For the "battle brigands with the navy" mission, you will receive a small percentage of the [[PoE]] pillaged (approximately 20%), but nothing of the [[commodities]].  You will also be paid for any leagues for which you puzzled.

= Requirements for Missions =

*A player must complete the "Learn to" mission in the corresponding puzzle (or do it on a voyage) to get a mission to Bilge, Sail, or do Carpentry with the navy.
*Apprentice experience in [[Bilging]], [[Carpentry]], and either [[Sailing]] or [[Rigging]] are required to get the mission to [[Gunning|Gun]] with the navy.
*In order to get the mission to Navigate With the Navy, a player must be subscribed or own a pirate or higher rank badge and have experience of Broad or higher in Bilging, Carpentry, Gunning, and either Sailing or Rigging.
*To get the mission to Defeat Brigands (battle navigate with the navy), a player must be subscribed or have a pirate badge or higher and must have Narrow [[experience]] in [[Navigation]].

= Other Uses =
Players have found the navy useful for a variety of purposes beyond payment, including:
*Practicing the duty puzzles in a continuous fashion, particularly for "[[buffing]]" [[Puzzle standing|standings]]
*[[Gunnery]], because [[jobbing pirate|jobber]]s are not usually permitted to gun unless they have a high standing  
*Practicing [[sea battle|Battle Navigation]] with the "defeat brigands" [[mission]] without the risks and interpersonal aspects of a true [[pillage]]
*[[Memorization|Memorize]] some courses by [[Navigation|Duty Navigation]] without the need of personally owning the necessary [[charts]]

= Historical Notes =

The introduction of missions and a complete revamp of the navy came with {{release|2005-02-11}}.  Prior to missions, each island [[governor]] would commission navy ships of their own by placing the [[deed]]s on a special screen inside the [[palace]].  Governors also had the ability to board any navy ship at any time, whether it was currently at sea or in port, from the [[dock]]s.  With the addition of missions, navy ranks and navy rewards (other than PoE) were also added.

Navy vessels could no longer be attacked by player ships following {{release|2004-10-21}}.

[[Training ship]]s were decommissioned with {{release|2004-07-09}}.  Navy ships now had unlimited [[gunnery|cannons]] to be filled.

Sales [[tax]] (computed as 10% of an order cost at the time) was added to defray the costs of the navy with {{release-beta|2003-10-22}}.

Navy pay was sent to your home island (prior to the [[Global Purse]]) with {{release-beta|2004-07-05}}.

The navy was introduced with {{release-alpha|2003-05-23}}.
